Northern Utah German Shepherd
Dog Rescue

Northern Utah German Shepherd Dog Rescue works to place loving German Shepherds into permanent homes. These dogs come from a variety of backgrounds, and are carefully screened to check for health and temperament concerns. All dogs placed are wormed, immunized, and spayed or castrated if necessary. Pups too young for neutering are placed on a conditional contract requiring that they be altered when they reach 6 months. NUGSD Rescue serves the intermountain west, accepting and placing dogs in Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona and Nevada.

Adopting an older dog can be a very rewarding experience. Many of our rescues are older dogs that just want a loving home and someone to adore. Please consider making the next addition to your home a deserving senior GSD.

Kenya looking
through the sliding glass doorKenya - Adopted! - 6 month old SF, GSD mix. Kenya was found wandering in Logan Canyon and was not claimed by her former owners despite advertisements in the paper and with local animal controls.

She is a bit shy but nice and likes to play with other dogs. Kenya has a new home in Salt Lake City with a woman that is training her to do forensic searches.

RubyRuby - Adopted! - 1 year old SF. Ruby was very undersocialized in her former home, so it takes her a while to adjust to new situations. She is doing well in her foster home and although she is very shy and worried, she does well with the other dogs. She is quite thin and needs to gain some weight. Ruby gets along with children and is good with cats. Ruby is now with a loving family where she has a GSD brother named King that she likes to play with.

He will need to be a mostly indoor dog due to his fence jumping. Very well mannered and calm in the house. May be too rough for cats (he wants to chase them.)

Kaiser Kaiser - Adopted! -5 year old NM GSD, current on shots. Nice male, large size, good with cats, good with other dogs. This boy is noise sensitive and had to be given up by his former owners because he lived in an area where there was frequent blasting and he was injuring himself trying to get away from the noise. Thunderstorms make him a bit nervous, but not as panicked as the blasting. He is crate trained and is very happy to be in a crate, particularly if he is nervous about noises. He knows sit and down, and accepts grooming nicely. Very friendly. He likes balls and kong toys, likes to play with other dogs and roll in the grass. He is fine around loud noises like vacuums and the lawn mower.

He is very affectionate, walks well on a leash, but has had little training. He has been an outside dog all his life but is now being crate trained and learning housetraining.

She is such a sweet little dog and very well behaved (except for the usual puppy shinanigans of chewing everything in sight). She comes when called, sits and stays (most of the time). I am just now getting her started on leash walking (using a harness). She loves carrying her little toy around in her mouth and going places in the car, especially for hikes. My boyfriend and I have taken her on lots of hikes to get rid of some of her energy! She is excellent in the car - in fact, she tends to go to sleep - I don't know if it's the motion of the car or what. She likes to retrieve balls and other things and loves going to bed at night in her kennel with her cozy bed in there. During the day, she naps on a round filled dog bed. She is fine with my cat, she just can't understand why Caitlin doesn't want to play with her! I don't think she has a vicious bone in her body, but my cat is very jealous and is quite unhappy with things. Oh, by the way, my vet says Bridget will be a small medium sized dog - probably get up to no more than 30 lbs. She weighs 24 now and is 7 months old. Vet says she does have some GS in her - you can tell in her face, which is very pretty. For more information on Bridget, contact Anne-Marie at 307-237-4676 or 307-267-3854.

 Truman - Adopted! - one to two year old male Long Haired GSD, black and tan, very pretty, nice big head, but VERY, VERY thin. Truman was a stray taken in by a kind person who couldn't keep him so he was turned over to animal control, who contacted rescue. Truman weighs 63 pounds and probably should weigh 85 or more. Friendly, good with other dogs, a bit shy at the moment. Vocal (aren't they all?) Truman is like superman, (leaps tall buildings in a single bound) so he needs a mostly indoor environment. He doesn't hop fences when you're out in the yard with him, he just jumps them to come sit on the front porch and ask to be let in the house.

 Abbi - Adopted! - approximately 3-4 year old female GSD, stock coat. Active, friendly, very nice looking female. Appears to get along well with most other dogs. She was a stray at animal control and after a few days in her foster home we've discovered why - she jumps fences (or wriggles out through some small opening, we haven't actually seen her escape yet) so she'll need to be a primarily inside dog and needs a HIGH fence and committed owners.

 Logan - Adopted! - approximately 4-5 year old male White GSD, he was abandoned by his former owner when the house was foreclosed on. A concerned neighbor (whose children have played with Logan over the years) continued to feed him and contacted rescue to come to Logan's aid. With temperatures hovering in the single digits or below zero, it was imperative that Logan be brought in out of the cold. He is now in a temporary foster home. Logan apparently gets along best with female dogs. He weighs about 95 pounds (he has lost weight since we got him and is looking VERY fit and trim now), is a big, tall boy, and is neutered. He is very friendly, and is quiet and well behaved. We discovered in his foster home that Logan is very good with cats, and most other dogs, but does not like Chinchillas.

 Borden - Adopted! - approximately 11 year old male GSD. Borden was dumped at a local animal control facility because his owners had grown "tired of dealing with him." He jumps or climbs fences, so they had chained him, and he jumped again and hanged himself, resulting in a large hemotoma at the back of his skull which required surgery to drain. He seems a bit unsteady on his rear legs, probably due to age related arthritis, and is reportedly afraid of loud noises like trains and thunder. His teeth are very badly worn, he may have been a rock chewer in younger years. After a dental cleaning, neutering, draining the hemotoma, and updating his shots, he is now looking for a retirement home to enjoy his last months in comfort. Borden is a sweet, friendly, housebroken dog who loves adults but is not too fond of children (perhaps due to pain in his hips?) He gets well with most other dogs, and has NEVER jumped the four foot chain link fence in his foster home We think he was just lonely in his old home and that is why he was jumping the fence there. Do you have room in your heart and home for this sweet old guy? Borden's adoption fee is negotiable, we just want him to have a good home for his remaining time.

 Garth - Adopted! - approximately 9 year old male coated (long haired) shepherd, black and cream coloring (lots of black). Very sweet, perhaps a bit arthritic, but from reports has led avery active life, walking or jogging daily with his previous owner.

For some reason (probably injury) Garth only has three toes on both back feet! He is good about being brushed and bathed, and loves attention. Crate trained and appears to be housetrained.

Tessa is a well behaved, housetrained, loveable girl, but she is chasing the cats in her new adoptive home, so the family that adopted her from animal control has asked GSD rescue to help find her a good home. She gets along well with children and adults and some other dogs, but is probably not good with smaller dogs since they will seem like cats. She knows some basic obedience commands and walks nicely on leash when there are minimal distractions. She is currently on prednisone and clavamox for some mild allergic itching.

 Misty - Adopted! - approximately 22 month old female, (the one on the right in this picture) sable coloring, very friendly, supposedly housetrained, good with most other dogs, but is a dominant female (aren't they all!) She was turned over to animal control due to killing livestock, so she needs a city, not country, home. She is doing well in her foster home aside from a little counter surfing.

 Kaleigh (Kay) - adopted! - 2 year old female Long Haired GSD, looks like a little lion right now with sort of a "mane" around her face. Very large size, energetic, vocal, happy, active dog. Needs an active family to give her sufficient exercise and play time. Sweet, well behaved, appears to be housetrained.

 Molly - Adopted! - 3 year old female, black and red coloring, tall girl. Molly is energetic and playful, and appears to be good with other dogs and cats. We had heard she was a fence jumper but she has made NO attempt to jump fences at the boarding kennel, so it appears that the fence she was formerly contained by was in poor repair. She is good with children and small dogs and cats. Very friendly and sweet. Molly is reportedly afraid of thunder and fireworks.

 Sampson - Adopted! - approximately 1 year old male, Black and Silver/Tan male GSD, or GSD mix. Was found wandering loose at a campsite and had apparently been there for several days, was very skinny and extremely dirty. Very nice boy, good with other dogs, including small dogs, appears to be good with cats. Good with children, well behaved but still a puppy in some respects like chewing. Needs some attention and love.

 Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt - Adopted! - approximately 18 month old male Belgian Malinois or Malinois cross. Tall, very thin (you can see every rib), may have been out on his own for a while. He was found running sheep in Uintah county. He can only be adopted out to city home, should not be near farm animals because of his propensity to chase. Very sweet, happy, agreeable boy, does well with other dogs. Unknown behaviour with cats.

 Brent - Adopted, but passed away. - approximately 8 year old male GSD, black and cream coloring. He is quite sweet and nicely behaved, we're not sure why his former owner didn't come looking for him at animal services. He gets along with other dogs, and appears disinterested in cats when tested with them. Update: Brent was adopted and spent a wonderful week in his new adoptive home where he was given lots of love and individual attention. Unfortunately, it was discovered that Brent had advanced bladder and spinal cancer, and a decision had to be made to put him out of his misery. He is now happyily romping at the bridge and watching over his mom and little sister Kady.

 Jacque - Adopted! - approximately 3 year old female GSD, classic black and tan markings. Very pretty, nice, energetic, likes other dogs but status with cats is unknown. Another nice dog whose owner didn't come to claim her from animal services.

 Lola - Adopted! - approximately 3 year old female, sable coloring. Lola was apparently lost by her owners in Nevada and then transported to Utah by a construction worker who then left her on a building site where she roamed for a few weeks until a kind-hearted person took her in. She was very shy at first but now is a friendly, loving dog with people she knows, still a bit nervous around strangers. She is good with cats and other dogs and is sweet and loving. She is up to date on all shots, spayed, heartworm tested, and ready to go to a new home.

 Harley (IV) - Adopted! - nope, not the Harley that was just adopted, yet *another* dog named Harley. 14 month old male GSD, slightly floppy ear, he is very sweet and playful, LOVES to play fetch although he's not too great about giving the stick back! His former owner denied that he was her dog even though he was wearing his rabies tag that was registered in her name.

 Klaus - Adopted! - 16 month old male GSD, light coloring. Klaus is pretty much housetrained, is crate trained, and is a very sweet, well behaved and playful boy. He gets along well with other dogs and is curious but friendly with cats. He has (OFA style, not certified) good to excellent hips and elbows. His family couldn't take him into the housing they were moving to, so gave him up to rescue.

 Bodie - Adopted! - 8 month old male, large size, black and tan coloring. Lived with pugs in his previous home and was good with cats there. Unknown behaviour with cats now. Not housetrained, will need some obedience and house manners. Very friendly and sweet boy, very large size, energetic. Lousy side shot to show Bodie's coloring.

 Casi - Adopted! - 8 week old female (as of 10/17) GSD mix puppy, striking bluish coloring with a cute white stripe down the center of her face and on her muzzle, with a white tip on her tail. She does not look particularly like a shepherd. She is the puppy on the left in the big picture.

 Josi - Adopted! - 8 week old female (as of 10/17) GSD mix puppy, tan colored body with a GSD's black muzzle coloring. May look somewhat like a shepherd when she is older. She is the puppy on the right in the big picture.

 Sadi - Adopted! - (yes, another dog named Sadi(e).) Sadi is an approximately three year old female GSD, very sweet, appears to be housetrained, is up to date on all shots and heartworm negative. She was left tied to the fence at the animal control officer's house because her family was moving and not taking her along. She is good with other dogs and with cats. Very sweet and friendly girl, well behaved, calm disposition. Loves to go for rides in the car.

 Sophie - Adopted! - 6-7 year old female, light colored black and cream, very friendly, walks nicely on leash, knows sit and down. Sophie is extremely friendly with people, a bit wary of other dogs, and does not appear to be good with cats. Sophie was recently diagnosed with cataracts that do not limit her vision at all, her retinas are clear, so her opthamologist did not recommend any corrective surgery. She needs very inexpensive eye drops daily for the rest of her life (cost is less than 10 dollars per month for the eye drops) and is learning to accept eye drops in her foster home.

 Schuyler - Adopted!! - approximately 4 year old male GSD, stray unclaimed at animal control in Utah County. Black and tan, very nice, good with other dogs, friendly, good with kids and good with cats and small dogs (chihuahua sized.) Relatively well behaved but curious with peacocks too. Unfortunately, Schuyler has started having seizures. We believe that they are being controlled by the medication he is on, but further tests are being run to make sure we have him at a theraputic level. He is still a wonderful, loving, sweet boy, and desparately needs a home where he can get the love and attention he so deserves. If anyone can see it in their hearts to adopting this special needs dog, we'll work with you on his adoption fees. He needs a permanent, stable home environment in which he can flourish.

 Beau - Adopted! - 2 year old AKC registered male German Shepherd Dog, long and lean with black and cream coloring. Beau is good with other dogs, including small dogs. He is good (curious) with cats, horses, cattle, and peacocks. He is housebroken and very sweet and well behaved, but a bit nervous about being left behind. Does ok in a crate. Beau is a very nice dog and will be a wonderful addition to someone's family. Loves to play ball. Beau can jump a 6 foot chain link fence with ease, so he needs to be a mostly indoor dog. He would like a home where he could sleep on the bed at night :-) to be close to his people, or at a minimum be allowed to sleep right next to the bed.

 Malcom - Adopted! - approximately 7 year old male GSD, very friendly, good with other dogs and good with cats. Malcom was originally a stray who went unclaimed at the animal shelter in Weber county. He was adopted last year, but due to a change in circumstances, his current owners don't have the time to give him they would like, so they are looking for a new home for him. He is very affectionate, housebroken, calm and well behaved in the house. He is a great dog in need of a wonderful home. Although you can't tell it from this picture, he does have two ears and they both stand up!

 Ace - Adopted! (Brigham City, UT) Ace is a 2 year old neutered German Shepherd mix with a medium smooth brown and black wavy coat. He has a long, lanky build that makes him look like his "mix" part is perhaps greyhound or afghanhound. He is currently living at the shelter due to a transfer from another shelter. This guy is friendly, energetic, and wants to please. He gets along well with all kids. If you would like more information on Ace, call Animal Oasis at (435) 720-0346 or email elliemay@favorites.com.

 Shari (Now Nisa) - Adopted! - approximately 5 year old female GSD, good with other dogs, appears to be good with cats. Friendly, well behaved, housebroken and walks fairly nicely on leash. Stray at animal control so we don't know a whole lot about her background. Overweight at the moment so she's been put on a diet.

 Sophie (3) - Adopted! - 15 month old female GSD, black and tan coloring. Just a bit shy but a real sweetheart, loves to give kisses. Sophie is housetrained and good with cats, probably good with horses. She was given up by her owners due to not having a fenced yard.

 Kenai (Kenny) - Adopted! - 8 month old male GSD, light colored face, black and cream coloring. Very petite size, he will probably weight 60 pounds at most as an adult. Kenny appears to have been traumitized by severe handling by his former family, so is nervous about SOME new people (barks and avoids them, but warms up when introduced) and situations. He has come a long way in the couple of months that we have worked with him, and now he needs a family that will continue to work hard with him to expose him gently to new people and new situations. We are going to be VERY picky about Kenny's new home because it is important that he go to experienced dog owners. He cannot be placed in a home with cats, small dogs or birds due to his high prey drive. However, a home with another adult larger breed dog would be wonderful for him, particularly a home with a dominant female who will keep him in line. :-)

 Dakota - Adopted! - 13 week old male GSD, very sweet, cute and playful. He was a stray at animal control so has no AKC papers, but he definitely appears to be purebred. Dalton's brother.

 Rest In Peace Dalton - We are heartbroken to let you know that Dalton passed away Monday morning due to complications from a intestinal bacterial infection. Despite IV's and antibiotics at the vets, he was not able to pull through. We are terribly sad to see him pass so soon, but want you to know that he got lots of hugs and cuddles while he was ill this last week.

13 week old male GSD, very sweet, cute and playful. He was a stray at animal control so has no AKC papers, but he definitely appears to be purebred. Dakota's brother.

 JD - Adopted! - approximately 7 year old male GSD, black and tan coloring with greying on the muzzle. Nice, well behaved male, good with other dogs. Can be a bit food posessive, so would do best in a household with no very small children who couldn't understand that they need to not bother him while he is eating or chewing on his bone. He knows sit and down and walks fairly well on leash.

 Willow - Adopted! - approximately 11 month old female Black and Tan GSD, small size and very slender frame. Willow is a bit shy of strangers and needs an understanding, loving home that will work with her, doing obedience and socializing her with other people and dogs. Willow is somewhat dominant and would most likely do best in a home with a male dog as opposed to another female.

 Carson - Adopted! - 5-7 year old male GSD, large frame, weighs 83 pounds. He's a nice male, friendly, still a bit confused about why he's lost his old home (he was a stray at animal control who was not claimed). He doesn't appear to be good with cats.

 Dori - Adopted! - approximately 18 month old female GSD, recently had puppies, she and her two mixed breed puppies were dumped at the animal shelter by her former owner. Dori appears to be what is called a "blue" GSD, where her black coloring is actually a steel blue color not unlike a blue doberman or weim. It is a recessive trait and has absolutely no health consequences for the dog. Friendly and good with other dogs, behaviour with cats unknown. She is not housebroken but is doing well with crate training in her foster home. She is intelligent, playful, and friendly with children and adults.

 Thorston - Adopted! - 2 year old male, black and tan coloring, very engaging personality. Thorston is a handsome guy, weighs about 75 pounds, housetrained, and knows sit, down, and shake. He has a loving personality and likes to give kisses and get hugs. Good with some other dogs when he knows them, but can display agression with dogs that try to dominate him. He is curious about cats. He had some barking issues (fence defensiveness) in his former home.

 Sasha II - Adopted! - 4 year old housetrained female, good with other dogs, possibly good with cats. Friendly, knows a few commands, well behaved, sweet and loving. Not good with very young (toddler) kids, but find with older children. Lighter tan coloring.

He is neutered and up to date on all shots, and heartworm negative. Tucker is a gem of a dog and will make someone a wonderful companion. We adore him and just can't say enough nice things about him. He's be a great addition to your family, call us and make him yours today!

 Roma - Adopted! - 4 year old male GSD, very black in coloring, tall and lanky, and needs to put on about 10-15 pounds. He knows some obedience commands. Has never been housetrained but is doing very well with crate training at his foster home. Seems very playful and happy with other dogs, poor behaviour with cats. Very handsome boy.

 Mystique - Adopted! - 6 month old female German Shepherd Dog, black and red coloring. Sweet and just a bit timid, probably hasn't had a lot of socialization. She's a very cute little girl, friendly and loves to play with other dogs. She would love to have a family of her own to housetrain her and perhaps have an older brother or sister to play with.

 Northern - Adopted! - a large (not overweight), 4 year old, purebred black and tan German Shepherd. He is in good physical shape and up to date on his shots. He has been through obedience class so he minds well and is very accepting of new people. He is somewhat dominant with large male dogs, does better with females, but he gets along with small dogs and cats extremely well. His original owner moved to a large city so he couldn't take Northern with him. He has been well taken care of and it shows in his personality. He would be a great addition to any family that likes large dogs.

 Kira - Adopted! - approximately 2 year old female Long Haired GSD. She is VERY sweet and friendly, walks nicely on leash and seems friendly with other dogs. She also appears to be good with cats. We think she is housebroken, and she is doing well with crate training. She is shy with strangers at first but warms up to them quickly. She doesn't appear to have had a lot of training but is a quick learner. She loves pets and treats and is eating well. She is spayed and up to date on all shots, heartworm negative, and ready for a new home!

 Perri - Adopted! - 12 month old female German Shepherd Dog, she was turned in to animal control by her owners who said she jumped their fence.

 Jaimee - Adopted! - 8 month old female German Shepherd Dog (or mix), very dark beautiful black coloring with red/tan accents. She is friendly with other dogs except around her food bowl.

 Seven - Adopted! - a female 7 month old German Shepherd Dog with black and red coloring. She is pretty well housetrained, knows a few commands, and is good with other dogs, will chase cats if they run. Her ears are not yet standing up but may still do so.

 Sierra - Adopted! - she's not a shepherd, but she sure does love them! Sierra is a 6 1/2 year old spayed female Maine Coon cat, up to date on all her shots, and declawed. She likes dogs and does NOT take any guff from them, and especially loves shepherds. If you have some cat-loving shepherds and would like a special addition to your family, please contact us. Sierra would like to live in a home with a friendly dog or dogs, but would prefer to be an only cat.

 BlackJack - Adopted! - approximately 6-8 year old male German Shepherd Dog, black and tan coloring. BlackJack absolutely LOVES to play ball, he is rarely found without a ball in his mouth, and he loves to throw the ball at your feet and get you to play with him. He is friendly with other dogs, housebroken, well behaved and a real charmer. We just couldn't pass up his handsome face at animal services and we are so happy we took him in when his time was up, because he is a real gem. Now he just needs a family and home to call his own (and a steady supply of tennis balls to play with.)

 Brando - Rest In Peace - a 12 to 13 year old male GSD who was a stray at animal control and not reclaimed by his original owner. We regret to inform you that Brando had to be put down last Saturday due to medical conditions. He could no longer walk and it was unfair to him to make him live like that. Rest in peace sweet boy.
Brando is a sweet, mild, well behaved dog who appears to be housebroken, is good with other dogs, and very friendly. He is a bit stiff from sleeping on concrete but walks well without any assistance. He appears to have Pannus (like Dahli) which we are treating. This sweet old boy could use some angels who will take him in and give him some last good months or years. Donations to support his medical care (medicines for Pano, Rimadyl for arthritis, and money to pay for a badly needed teeth cleaning) would be much appreciated.

 Sherna - Adopted! - 9 month old female German Shepherd Dog, sable coloring. She is friendly and playful, good with other dogs, and appears to be good with cats. She is very sweet and well behaved, likes to play with balls and give kisses.

Hope is housetrained, very well socialized, friendly and gentle with everyone including cats. She had a badly injured leg when she was rescued that was later amputated.

 Luna - Adopted! - 2 to 4 year old female GSD, black and red coloring. Very small (currently only weighs 39 pounds, will probably max out at 50 pounds) and fox-like in appearance. She is sweet, a bit shy, playful and fun with other dogs. Her foster family is working with her on housebreaking and socialization and reports that she is doing very well.

 Mazzie - Adopted! - 4 year old black and tan female German Shepherd Dog, AKC registered. She is great with other dogs and with children, likes to chase cats. Very friendly and playful, a real sweet dog. She is housebroken and well behaved.

 Shadow II - Adopted! - a 4-5 year old female German Shepherd Dog with black and cream markings. She is a bit shy, but sweet and well behaved, good with children and cats.

 Kestrel - Adopted! -approximately 2 1/2 year old female Long Haired GSD, very sweet, beautiful coloring, friendly and affectionate, plays well with other dogs. She is crate trained and housetrained. Kestrel would do best in a cat-free environment.

Kestrel was diagnosed with severe bilateral hip-displaysia last year. After discussion with the veterinarian, it was decided that the best option for Kestrel would be to perform Femoral Head Osteotomies on her hips. The first surgery was performed in February 2001, and her second surgery took place March 28th, 2001. She is now walking well and running and playing actively, and is pain free. She's ready to go to a new home! You can see pictures of her pre- and post-surgery, here.

German Shepherd Rescue has NO funds for surgeries such as the ones Kestrel needed, and paying for them is severely straining our meager resources. We would like to establish a medical fund to help pay for her surgery and for other dogs who in the future may need extraordinary medical care (for example, Borden who had the hematoma that needed to be drained.) If you would like to make a donation to help pay for medical expenses like Kestrel's surgery, you can use the PayPal payment button below, or if you'd like to make a payment directly to the veterinarian, you can send donations (in the name of Northern Utah GSD Rescue) to: Blacksmith Fork Vet Clinic, 16 E. 6200 S., Hyrum, UT 84319.
